A new Radio to Mp3 recorder is on the market. It is actually just a radio with a built in mp3 player. Instead of the recorder being built in I personally would prefer the radio to have a built in docking station instead so you could remove the mp3 player and take it on the road. Never heard of the brand Kaito either so don't know about the quality, but the player probably looks cool if you're into vintage looks on your tech gadgets. I'm not:-) Then again if your just looking for a radio this is a pretty decent one with a lot of typica radio features, and it has the mp3 recording ability as kind of an added bonus.
